Fire Emblem: The Support Conversations

Hello FE community. I'm the Observer 00. Recently, I just have been hit with a ton of good support ideas…some lover, some friend, and some that are just unique.

Anyway, the first conversation is between Canas and Guy from Blazing Sword.

Rank C.

It is another day for the Sacaean swordsman, Guy. By morning, he helps Lowen and Rebecca hunt for food. After breakfast, he practices his sword swings hundreds of time. On occasion, he'll help out Merlinus with organizing the stock. After lunch, he'll spar with Priscilla's brother, Raymond…er, Raven (Priscilla let Guy know their relationship.) But today was different.

"Excuse me, but by any chance, are you a Sacaean sword fighter?" asked a voice.

Guy was taken by surprise and nervously turns around to see the scholar…Canas, was it?...looking at him.

"Y-Yes I am! I am Guy, the Greatest Swordsman of Sacae!" Guy was still shooked by Canas's sudden appearance. Normally, nobody sneaks up on Guy…well except for Matthew…and Priscilla…and Raven…and Lucius…and Wallace (okay, how could he not noticed the clanking of his armor?).

"Ah, so you're currently the best in the Sacae region?" asked Canas eagerly.

"Er…actually…I'm not the best swordsman…that belongs to the Swift Falcon of Djute…but I WILL be the best in all of Sacae!"

"Ah, it must be nice to have goals such as these. I don't believe we have ever met before, despite we're in the same army. My name is Canas, a scholar of sorts." greeted Canas.

"A scholar?" repeated Guy.

"Yes…and I was wondering if you could set aside some of your time for me." said Canas.

"Really? Why's that?" asked Guy suspiciously.

"Well…I want to study about Sacaen culture as much as I can. Unfortunately, Rath, I believe his name, isn't quite talkative and Miss Lyndis is quite busy planning with our tactician." explained Canas "So I believe you could answer all my questions…and more."

"Um…if you really want to learn about my culture…then I suppose I could tell you everything I know…but I could only tell you about the Kutolah tribe."

"That is alright. Any knowledge about your culture will be more worth then gold." said Canas.

"Okay Mister Canas…but not right now…I have training to do…but Sacaens never break their promises!"

"I look forward to it." said Canas as he heads off to teach his niece the words.

Rank B.

It took many weeks for Guy to keep his promise, but he did it. He explained how Sacaens hunt for food, the belief in Mother Earth and Father Sky, the tribal wars against the Kutolah and Djute, and their ethnics. Canas was writing it down on a blank book so excitingly. After what seems forever, Guy stretches and says,

"Well, that's all I could remember for now." said Guy.

"Fascinating! While most people believe the Sacaeans use the Hunt-and-Gather system, they actually grow a good deal of wheat. And based on your religion, it sounds similar to that of the Elimine Church, only more free."

Canas keeps on writing down on his book. Guy could only stare as he sees the Shaman writing. Finally, Guy asks "Um…Mister Canas? I don't mean to disrespect you, but why are you so eager to learn the Sacaean culture?"

Canas stops writing for a moment and says, "Well, it's because I'm a scholar. And a scholar's job is to gather knowledge."

"Knowledge? For what?" asked Guy.

"Knowledge in order to fight ignorance." said Canas "You see, the real danger kingdoms have to face aren't bandits, natural disasters, or war…though they should be fear, mind you…but it is ignorance."

"…Ignorance…"

"Yes. People tend to be biased on the Sacaeans nomads because they don't see further then what the eyes see and what the ears can hear. However, I have discovered the Sacaeans nomads are similar to that of, say, the Eturian people. If the world knows about this, then maybe we'll reach an understanding." Canas stretches his back and says, "Thank you for the assistance Guy. I really do feel like I understand your culture better."

Canas leaves the grounds with Guy pondering with what he said.

Rank A.

Canas is studying Hyperberion's (Heath's wyvern) who is eating with Makar( Florina's Pegasus).

"Hmm…the interaction between a Pegasus and a wyvern is quite interesting.

"Excuse me, Mister Canas?" said a voice. Canas almost jump, but manages to hold onto his posture. He turns around to see Guy.

"Oh hello Guy. I suppose you want to observe the interactions between a wyvern and a Pegasus?" asked Canas.

"Um…not really…but can I ask a question?"

"Well certainly. What do you want to be answer?"

"I…this may sound rude to you…but what are you going to do when this is all over?"

Canas looks at Guy strangely. It's not so rude to ask one a personal question, but he never expected Guy. Thinking it over, he said "Well, I suppose I should come back to my wife and son. It HAS been too long and I do sort miss them. I just hope my wife, Isis, doesn't leave me in the cold since Illia's snow is quite…troublesome."

"…Don't you have to go through Sacae to get to Illia?" asked Guy.

"Well…yes…"

Guy declares "Then I'm coming with you on your quest for knowledge."

"Hmm?"

"The other day, I thought about what you said…about fighting ignorance."

"Yes, that is true."

"To be honest…my goals seem insignificant to yours. I…I want to help you fight ignorance too."

Canas is trouble for Guy for a couple of good reasons "But what about your dreams? What about your family?"

"The Kutolah tribe declared me a man when I set out and my mother will be at ease if I'm with you. I also decided that I'll be a great swordsman all over Elibe." Explained Guy "Please Mister Canas, I really wish to accompany you."

Silence reigns the area except for Makar's neighing. Canas simply smiles and says "I'll be glad to have someone as eager as you as my assistant. But I should ask one favor."

"Sure Mister Canas…what is it?"

"Allow me to be acquainted with your tribe, please?"

"Sure."

Ending:

After the war, Canas and Guy head out to Sacae. At first, people were weary of him because of his magic, but Dayan, the Silver Wolf, sees Canas as no threat. Canas now has comprehensive knowledge of the Kutolah. Guy gave up his title of "Sword of Saints" to another Sacaen and journeys onward to Illia. However, Canas and his wife died trying to stop a snowstorm, leaving Guy with his son Hugh and the assignment of gaining more knowledge. Guy wrote many documents and died of a disease. Their work would be remember for generations to come.

Author's Notes: Hello everyone that wants to see my Support Conversations. Before you ask…it was the bunnies' fault! They made me write this fic! Anyway, those two seem pretty unusual as a pair, but hey I like the idea. Also (to the extent of my memory) I don't think Hugh mentioned anything about living in an orphanage, so I figured "Hey he must have been raised by somebody." In case it wasn't obvious to you, I like the Guy/Priscilla couple, even though Heath is awesome. But I really think the next two should've go well together. Anyway, what do you think? Because I'm going to do various support conversations from all the GBA Fire Emblems, do happy reading!
